This is the 7th lecture of Korean Vocabulary 10,000 Project.
All right, we gonna start from no. 121 to 140. No. 121 is 기도하다[gi-do-ha-da], which means ‘to pray’. 그녀는 자신의 소원이 이루어지기를 기도하고 있습니다[geu-nyeo-neun ja-sin-eui so-weon-i i-ru-eo-ji-gi-reul gi-do-ha-go it-seub-ni-da]. She is praying that her wishes will come true. 그녀[geu-nyeo] is ‘she’, and 는[neun] is the subjective case. 자신의[ja-sin-eui] is actually ‘one’s own’, but in this sentence, the subject is ‘She’, so 자신의[ja-sin-eui] is the same as ‘her’, right? And 소원[so-weon] is a noun, and its meaning is ‘wish’, and is another subject, and 이[i] is the subjective case. And the next word, 이루어지기를[i-ru-eo-ji-gi-reul] came from a verb, 이루어지다[i-ru-eo-ji-da], which means ‘to succeed’. When 이루어지다[i-ru-eo-ji-da] is changed into 이루어지기[i-ru-eo-ji-gi], this is a noun form of 이루어지다[i-ru-eo-ji-da], and 를[reul] is the objective case. And 기도하고 있습니다[gi-do-ha-go it-seub-ni-da] is the present progressive form of 기도하다[gi-do-ha-da], which means ‘to pray’. So, 그녀는 자신의 소원이 이루어지기를 기도하고 있습니다[geu-nyeo-neun ja-sin-eui so-weon-i i-ru-eo-ji-gi-reul gi-do-ha-go it-seub-ni-da]. She is praying that her wishes will come true.

No. 122 is 성공하다[seong-gong-ha-da], which means ‘to succeed’. 우리는 성공하기 위해서 열심히 일해야 합니다[u-ri-neun seong-gong-ha-gi wui-hae-seo yeol-sim-hi il-hae-ya hab-ni-da]. We have to work hard in order to succeed. 우리는[u-ri-neun] is ‘we’, and 성공하기 위해서[seong-gong-ha-gi wui-hae-seo] came from 성공하다[seong-gong-ha-da], which means ‘to succeed’, and if we replace 다[da] with 기 위해서[gi wui-hae-seo], this is an adverb to a purpose, so 성공하기 위해서[seong-gong-ha-gi wui-hae-seo] is ‘in order to succeed’. And 열심히[yeol-sim-hi] is an adverb, and its meaning is ‘hard’, and modifies the verb behind it, 일해야 합니다[il-hae-ya hab-ni-da]. 일하다[il-ha-da] is ‘to work’, and if we replace 하다[ha-da] with 해야 합니다[hae-ya hab-ni-da], this means ‘must, or have to’. So, 우리는 성공하기 위해서 열심히 일해야 합니다[u-ri-neun seong-gong-ha-gi wui-hae-seo yeol-sim-hi il-hae-ya hab-ni-da]. We have to work hard in order to succeed.

And 를[reul] is the objective case. And 성취하였습니다[seong-chwui-ha-yeot-seub-ni-da] is the past tense form of 성취하다[seong-chwui-ha-da], which means ‘to achieve’.

Our company's sales are decreasing. 우리[u-ri] is actually ‘we’, and also shortened form of 우리의[u-ri-eui], which means ‘our’, and the next word 회사[hoi-sa] is ‘a company’, so 우리 회사[[u-ri hoi-sa] is ‘our company’, and 의[eui] is a genitive case, and the next word 매출[mae-chul] is ‘sales’, so 우리 회사의 매출[u-ri hoi-sa-eui mae-chul] is ‘our company’s sales’, right?
